If you have to say: I'm the Captain...and this is the way I/we do things ... you lost it!Try and read this book: Tony Kern, Controlling Pilot Error, Culture Environment, CRM. Or get some Airforce CRM instructors in your airline. If the only guy that ever spoke up got demoted, says a lot about your company saftey culture and how they deal with safety information- messengers get shot...OPEN and JUST? Good luck Cowboy!
